The Tampa Bay Timesreports that former Arkansas AD Jeff Long is a finalist for the vacant USF Ad position. Former Louisville AD Tom Jurich is said to be preferredby fans and boosters, while Long reportedly has the support of some people who actually have the power to make it happen.

While Tom Jurich remains the preferred choice among several prominent USF boosters (and some coaches) for the Bulls’ athletic director gig, our intel has revealed another former Power Five AD also is getting a serious look.

Jeff Long, who spent nearly a decade (2008-17) as Arkansas’ AD and served four years in the same job at Pitt before that, is among those being considered for the vacancy at USF, two sources have confirmed.
